Let your imagination run wild! There's no way you will get bored when creating and painting these scum.) (Extra tip: The sky is the limit with these guys. Make sure you paint the dark blue penal-arrow tattos on their shoulders and foreheads. the chem-inhaler tubes should be rusty red. Colour Schemes: Paint these guys in drab brown and paint the cloth on their shoulders a yucky yellowish colour as a contrast. If you can get hold of the Gorkamorka mutie steeds it would be exellent but anything alien will do. Make thes from green stuff and add tears and holes using a modeling tool. Finally, the Savlar trademark which is the large piece of cloth draped around their shoulders. Again, there is nothing wrong with variety here. The backpacks can be found in the Necromunda range. For the tubes you can use Green Stuff or red electric wire. The main feature of the Savlar is the massive chem-inhalers fixed with large tubes attached to a pack on their back. Now, as stated earlier you should really use a variety of minis as the Savlar have no fixed uniform (most of what they own is scavenged). Make sure you fix the back of the head with green stuff. Although some of the standard heads can be used I would recommend getting hold of the Chaos Terminator head with the gas mask (available from mail order) and using that instead.l It really gives the feel of a shaved convict head with a chem-inhaler. Use Catachan minis with a nice blend of Necromunda and Tallarn minis for the base of your modeling. These scum and lowlifes of the Imperium are perfect for extensive conversion. Sergeant Joto of the XXII Savlar upon receiving a medal for bravery after the bloodbath at Trenia All this death-and-glory crap isn't really my business. 'You can keep that, mate! Won't fetch me more than a few credits on the market anyway. Litchen and static crass as well as othe bits and bobs on weapons and uniforms will really give them a stealthy feel) (Extra tip: Use extensive camouflage on these guys. Paint the cloaks a camouflage colour to match the scenery you will be fighting in. Colour shemes: The Tanith actually wear flat grey or black uniforms beneath their cloaks. remember to gradually build the cloak out rather than just slapping a chunk og Green Stuff onto the mini. The main feature on these guys (and girls?) is their Cameleoline cloaks which should be made from Green Stuff. Also poke round the Mordheim range to find some cool looking minis as the Tanith really are a force that deserves diversion and character. I would suggest using Catachan minis or even certain mins from the WFB militian sprue. 'In the name of Tanith! Now they are on us we must fight! Hold the line and hold your fire until they come over the mud wall!'ДЄlthough Tanith minis are around they only exist in a very small range which is not very impressive. Colour schemes: The Harakoni Warhawks wear flat colours such as sand, grey or brown on their armour and black uniforms underneath. Alternatively, you could get hold of the grav chutes released by Forge World. Get hold of lots of backpacks from the Necromunda range to act as grav chutes. Use Cadian mins for these guys and add extra armour plating and gas masks using Green Stuff. The spikes are perfect for the helmets and the various skulls and chains are perfect for decoration on tanks and other vehicles) (Extra tip: Use the Chaos vehicle sprue extensively for these guys. The also adorn their uniforms and vehicles with skulls and bones and other grim symbols of death. Colour schemes: The Death Korps wear dark, grim colours such as dark brown, grey or even black. Use Rough Rider legs and lances and convert your Death Riders using Steel Legion minis. These can be made using Brettonian warhorses which have been slightly modified with Green Stuff. Now The Death Korps are roenound for their deadly Death Riders. This technique demands some modeling skill but it does provide better greatcoats than the first technique. Use the Valhallan minis and create helmets and rebreathers using Green Stuff. The other way is slightly more challenging and time consuming. If you wish you can lengthen their coats using Green Stuff.Дў. Use the Steel Legion figures and, if you wish, make slight conversions by adding spikes to their helmets and even giving them backpacks from the Necromunda Range.

There are several ways of making the most grim and fearless soldiers of the Imperial Guard.ДЎ.
